They had been In her tank since March, they have been in our home between 1-2years I rescued them from several people. (There are still 15 or so in another tank) 3 were attached to the filter, 2 were in the java ferns. For sure all the bodies have been removed. A few hours before they were...

I was thinking exactly that. I have some of the same in my tank (we took the 5 from there when her tank was cycled). All of them were rescues from other people. It also seemed weird to me that all died in a couple hours. I figure I’m going to keep my eyes out for those shrimp and the fry...

I made the mistake of using it I barely ever do, I’ve been keeping aquariums on and off for over 30 years. More on than off and think this is the 4th or 5th time I've used them And probably the last I already disposed of the bodies. There were no signs of ich, or parasite, no gill or fin issues...

It’s been a while since I’ve been on (it’s dad) the iPhone app stopped working and with the homeschooling and covid crazy ness time just got away from me. My daughter will probably update soon I’m sure. In mid April we added 3 apisogramma sp. viejeta gold. So she has 5 neon/cardinal tetras, 2...

This is dad I agree with the cactuoides! I have a beautiful pair in my 55

Thank you everyone for replying I am exited to get in to the hobby I was looking online with my dad and brother. I saw a lot of cool fish I know I can not get all of them because they can not all live together and also my aquarium is only 26 gallons not as big as my house. My idea : Pair of...

She is starting her thread not sure how to link it. She put it in freshwater beginners title is daughters tank. I’m sure she will love to answer. We looked online today to pass some time I think she has a want list of about 20-30 species. She knows not all can go in a 26

HI everyone, My daughter is setting up her tank and wanted to have a thread about it just like her younger brother. She is 10 and being a protective parent she will be writing it on my account just like her brother. I will be guiding her but we are always open to ideas and advice, just please...

Dad here: So tank is going great seems all the shrimp have gone missing. We have decided to put the shrimp tank conversion on hold. He was given a blue ram and loves it so shrimp are really off the table for this tank. Now since the covid 19 lockdown my daughter has shown a great interest in...

We haven’t updated in a while. We went on vacation and our neighbor fed the fish. Everyone seems to be good. Right now we think somebody is eating the red cherry shrimp. We can only find a couple here and there or they are very good at hiding. My dad said we could take my fish and put them...

I like that idea maybe build a small mound in a corner, I’d just be nervous about it shifting during water changes and trapping/squishing shrimp. I was also wondering I assume I would need to wait and see the tds reading is once I have the tank properly cycled. I’m new to this

Ok so life got the best of me and I put the shrimp tank on hold. I’m starting to think about setting it up slowly. So here is where I am and would like advice before even looking at what to stock. What I have: 10 gallon Led light built into cover Fluval stratum substrate Heater What I need...

That’s what we think happened. The water was almost at the bottom of the slide where the water comes out of the filter. Since we put those back in all of a sudden I see a lot of baby shrimp well maybe four or five which is good because I don’t see many adults. We also lowered the water so they...

It’s been a while since I updated. 2 out of the 3 guppies have gone missing (dad here actually have no clue what happened no bodies or anything) Everything else seems to be good, I don’t see as many red shrimp as I used to. I think the fish ate them, except yesterday we cleaned out my filter and...

So the quarantining and cleaning is all done. I pretty much decided I was going to keep the 5 gallon empty and ready for quarantine/hospital tank. I always have extra media running in my canister filter in case I randomly acquire a new aquarium. As for the 10 a few weeks ago we added some...

Here are the 2 we have running now. We just reaquascaped both over the weekend 55 gallon community: My sons 20 gallon We have a 10 and 5 in the storage room waiting for an excuse to restart. (Picked them up from someone leaving the hobby)

(Dad here) Wow we are in Canada I always wanted an outdoor pond/goldfish setup however no matter what we would need to bring them inside for winter (we get up to -40 Celsius here). I grew up with all sorts of pets and loved it!! My wife never had any but is coming around. (Now my son talking)...

Here is what it looks like after some aquascaping. I took out the arch thing with the java fern and sectioned it off. Some for me and some for my sons tank. His build thread is getting a lot of more love then mine, he’s making fun of me. I love it a 6 year old kid loving the hobby and actually...
